Old School Phones
My eight year old, Jake, just informed me that he knows how to work "old school" phones.
"You put your finger in the hole and rotate it clockwise all the way around until it stops, and then you put your finger in the hole with the next number and do the same thing, over and over."
Wow, do I feel old.

What I've learned...
A few things that I've learned (or been reminded of) over the last seven weeks since I've been home with a new baby ...
1. Daytime TV will kill your brain. Even the History Channel - a shining beacon in a sea of courtroom TV shows and repeats of "I know I've had 47 men take a DNA test but I'm one thousand and infinity sure that THIS one is the daddy of my baby" Maury - gets a little repetitive. I know more about cults than I ever thought I would, and did you know that the first and last people who died during the construction of the Hoover Dam were father and son?
2. Babies prefer to poop in freshly changed diapers.
3. We are a incredibly malnourished and unhealthy nation, judging by all of the commercials for "healthy" food and medications. The next time you watch the national news, count how many of the commercials are for something that claims to prevent illness or treat a symptom of an illness. That includes food and vitamins.
4. Anything can be bought for "pennies a day," and you DESERVE it. All of it.
5. Germs are bad. You should buy any product that promises to kill them on every surface of your home, including your air.
6. Erica Kane still looks the same, but Tad and Dixie do not (although I just read that Dixie died on January 30th).
7. If the baby falls asleep, you should try to fall asleep. And eat. Definitely eat.
8. Don't give away the coffee maker because you never drink coffee ... right before you have a baby.
9. Breast milk IS better, especially if you want to cut down on spit up.
10. There really is a difference when it comes to cheap diapers.
11. I have a lot more patience than I thought.
